The Stranglers - 3.01 - Tank

The Stranglers released their third album, "Black and white", in May 1978, eight months after "No more heroes". Most of the tracks have a doomsday feeling about them, prophesying war or other catastrophes. It divided the critics. Some called it weak, while others considered it to be as good as or even better than their previous albums.

Tank

I can sign for one, two, three or four,

Get three weeks off in a year or more,

Save up and get my very own SLR,

Cos I can drive (drive) my very own tank,

Yes, I can drive (drive) my very own tank,

Yes, I can drive (drive) my very own tank,

Yes, I can drive (drive) my very own tank.

Can you see the bullet's high velocity?

It can blow a man's arm off at the count of three.

If I get my hands on one of those

I'm something to watch out for,

I can drive (drive) my very own tank,

Yes I can,

Yes I can.

I don't care where they send me now,

Send picture postcards to my old Mother And Father,

So when I come home they'll Have someone to be proud Of,

I can drive (drive) my very own tank,

Yes, I can drive (drive) my very own tank,

Yes, I can drive (drive) my very own tank,

Yes, I can drive (drive) my very own tank.
